"The significant increase in visitation during off-peak months like May, June, September, and October confirms that we are on the right track," stated Antonis Mettos, the president of the Tourism Committee of the Municipality of Ios.

“Can we have some more of Ios, please?” asks the author of the UK newspaper The Sun at the end of their recent travel article praising the Homeric Cycladic island.

Enchanted by the youthful atmosphere and positive energy of Ios, the author who visited the island last summer upon the invitation of the Municipality of Ios, acknowledges the efforts made to develop and highlight other interesting features of the destination.
